Unlike science, religion is not a tradition

During
a service at an old temple in Eastern Europe, when the supplication was being said,
half the congregants stood up while the other one-half remained seated. Those who
were seated started yelling at those standing to sit down down, and the 1s standing
yelled at the 1s sitting to stand up up. The rabbi, learned as he was in law and
commentaries didn't cognize what to do. His fold suggested
that he confer with a 98-year-old man, who was one of the original laminitises of the
temple. The rabbi hoped the aged adult male would be able to state him what the
actual temple tradition was. So he went to the nursing place with a
representative of each cabal of the congregation. The 1 whose followers
stood during the supplication said to the old man, "Is it the tradition to stand
during this prayer?" The old adult male answered, "No, that is not the tradition". The
one whose following sat asked, "Is it the tradition to sit down during the prayer?" The old adult male answered, "No,
that is not the tradition". Then the rabbi said to the old man, "The congregants
fight all the time, yelling at each other about whether they should sit down or
stand!" The old adult male interrupted, exclaiming, "THAT is our tradition!" Religion is not in the
tradition, nor in rituals. Religion have no adjective to depict it. Religion is
simply religion, as love is love. Can we name love Christian, Hindu, Muslim? If
love is neither Christian nor Hindoo nor Islamic, then why should Supreme Being be
Christian, Hindoo or Jewish? Have not Jesus Of Nazareth said "God is Love"? The enlightened
ones have got reminded: No 1 can be born into a religion; rather, faith have to
be born into you. One have to open up one's psyche and have religion. In the church
it is not, in the masjid or temple it is not, in the temple it is not. Osho
points out, "Science depends on tradition. Without a Newton, without an Edison,
there is no possibility for Prince Albert Albert Einstein to have got existed at all. He necessitates a certain tradition;
only on that tradition, on the shoulders of the past giants in the human race of
science, he can stand. Of course, when you stand up on the shoulders of somebody
you can look a small farther than the individual on whose shoulders you are
standing, but that individual is needed there. "Science is a tradition, but religion
is not a tradition: it is an individual experience, utterly individual. Once
something is known in the human race of scientific discipline it necessitate not be discovered again, it
will be foolish to detect it again.Youneed not detect the theory of
gravitation, Newton have done it. You necessitate not travel and sit down in a garden and watch
an apple autumn and then reason that there must be some military unit in the Earth that
pulls it downwards; it will be simply foolish. Newton have done it; now it is
part of human tradition... But in faith you have got to detect again and again. No find goes a heritage in religion". A master, such as as Osho,
teaches us that God's manner of being present in the human race is His absence. He is
not present by being present. Supreme Being is present by being absent. That is His manner of
being present in the world. You cannot pinpoint: here is God. If you pinpoint,
it will be something else, not God, a statue, a scripture, a radition, a
morality, but not religion, not God. Supreme Being is everywhere! His manner of presence is
to be absent, and this is chapeau a maestro learns you. meditation2000@yahoo.com
